Bullants are Foxtel Diamonds for Dreams team

Thanks Emma for nominating us and thanks Foxtel for the prizes.

SCNA and Bullants are involved in lots of great netball this weekend. Come down to the ACT Netball Centre at Lyneham on Saturday 1 Nov to support SCNA State League teams playing in the Semi-Finals (2:45, 4pm & 5:15pm).
On Sunday 2 Nov, the SCNA winning winter comp. senior & Inters teams will play at Tuggeranong in the TNA Premier Championships. Bullants has three teams entered; Braves, Chief and Comanche. Best of luck girls. All our teams would love your support so if you can spare time, head over to Lyneham on Saturday or a Tuggeranong on Sunday to cheer us on.

Summer netballers are advised to check the Juniors and Seniors 2 draws before the games on Wednesday as they have been updated.

Access the draws on the SCNA website

Just a reminder there is no Wednesday summer comp game this week. I hope you managed to get some tickets to come and watch the Diamonds play beat England. If not, the game will be broadcast on SBS 2 at 7:00 pm. Keep an eye out for some of our Bullants team. A big thanks to Emma who entered Bullants into the Foxtel Diamonds for Dreams competition. We were chosen as the winning club and will benefit from some great rewards depending on how many goals the Diamonds score…GO DIAMONDS!
